Coop Himmelb(l)au Won the Dawang Mountain Resort Commission

Australian design firm Coop Himmelb(l)au had the winning entry for the Dawang Mountain Resort near Changsha, China. The abandoned cement-mining quarry has a nearby lake and will act as a winter sports resort and water park. The Deep Pit Ice and Snow World will be constructed from cliff to cliff while the quarry will be turned into an artificial landscape with pools, paths and plant life.
